Testimonial

“My son Lane was having difficulties in school especially with listening and his behavior. My husband and I looked around for programs to get him involved in and stumbled across Wartime Fitness. Since enrolling Lane in the young guns boxing program we have seen significant improvement in his behavior at school and at home. “

“Wartime fitness has had such a positive impact on my son’s life. I really can’t say enough great things about this gym. My son has suffered from anxiety, depression, ADHD most of his life and this gym has been a blessing for him. The coaches at this gym have helped him build confidence, self-discipline, and, motivation just to name a few. He is no longer on ADHD medication because he works his steam off in the gym and con focus more on a daily basis. He has always wanted to become a boxer. George Rivera and the rest of the Coaches have built him into the champion that he is today. This is hands down the best gym we’ve ever been to. I highly recommend wartime fitness for anyone young or older.”

“The Wartime Family has truly changed my son’s life for the better in more ways than I can count. As a free-spirited child who struggles with attention, Uriah was often categorized as un-coachable by many who misunderstood his behavior. As a parent, it was difficult to watch coaches lose patience with him when he was giving his best effort. Everything changed when Uriah was introduced to George Rivera at age eight.”
